Well, certainly most everyone likes bread even if they don't go for cheese.As my journey to a healthy weight was continuing I realized that I needed to address my own relationship with bread and cheese. At first it was easy to reject bread, but as the rain poured down outside and the stresses and strains of life accumulated once more, I found that the unsliced white loaf by the toaster was becoming more and more appealing. Before long I was helping myself to a big comforting slice.
One of the questions we EFT practitioners ask of clients is "when did your first notice this **** start to occur?". For me in this case the "****" is starting to gain weight. Looking back, it started for me when I was 21 and was a student studying away from home. I missed my family and my boyfriend l and food was a comfort. We were also quite spoiled as students because we lived in a hostel that was a 17th Century Manor house, and all our meals were made for us. At lunch times we would buy lunch from the work canteen. The meal I enjoyed best was called a "ploughman's lunch", which consisted of two huge and very dense bread rolls and an enormous piece of cheese. I would eat this almost every day. The meal was very comforting, although it was way too much for one person to eat!!
In the video below you will see me demonstrate in a general way, how I used EFT tapping to reduce the intensity of craving for bread and cheese. Tap along with me and see how you feel. If you don't have cravings for bread and cheese then substitute the foods you crave instead. You will notice that I don't try and stop myself from eating bread and cheese at all; instead I given myself the choice of eating less and substituting other more nutritious and even more interesting foods.
